AC Milan are keeping the option of building a new stadium away from the San Siro district very much open as bureaucratic difficulties continue.
Anto Vitiello writes in his column for MilanNews that a few days ago there was a proliferation of statements about the new stadium with political and non-political personalities choosing to speak ‘only to have visibility, without even having the pulse of the situation and the real facts’.

What emerged recently was the idea that San Siro cannot be demolished because it is over the threshold in terms of the age of the structure thus making in protected, but Vitiello writes that the issue was already clarified. In fact, back in May 2020 the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage had declared that there was no historical-cultural link on San Siro.
It is still not being mentioned enough that the building of the new stadium is also a redevelopment of the neighbourhood, something which benefits all citizens, the city and the two football clubs. If Milano do not want to host the stadium, then it ‘will be build elsewhere’.
